I woke up, turned on my bettas heaters, fed them all 1 pellet of betta food, looked at them all. I took a few pictures of 2 of my other bettas. I've gone downstairs a few times through out the day (5-7) and just now I went down stairs, my poor little Gen was totally pale and passed away. I'm so upset. He was really healthy at PetSmart when I picked him up, but it was like after I placed him into his 1g tank, he just.. was very... Slow? Not as swimmy and happy as everyone else. I thought he was adjusting, now hes gone. I'm so upset, he was a beautiful beautiful CT. My dad is taking me to PS on Friday to exchange him. This shouldn't have happen. He was red mixed with shades of black and his rays were dipped in black. I loved Gen and I wish I didn't have to preserve his little body until Friday.

Now I'm really nerserve about what could happen to Mango since he's acting very secluted, and even though everyone else is acting healthy, I'm worried like heck. PS is gonna think I'm doing this on purpose... jerks.. Ugh.. I'm gonna go deal with Gen now..

I'm so sorry about your loss. Do you have any pictures? he sounds really pretty!
(You turn your heaters on and off? They should just turn on if the temperature goes down and stip when reached the set temperature...

I can't find a heater for anything smaller then a 5g.. I have several 1g & 1/2g along with a 2.5g...I use Soft Heat human heaters.. they turn off every hour.. during the day I turn them on every hour, and at night I get up every 2 hours for them.. I don't understand why this happen.. Maybe he was just..stressed and I didn't see it.. I don't know.. He was my little Goth Betta..

I haven't delt with Gen yet.. I'm nervous.. I really basicly don't want too.. and I don't know if I want to use that tank again... I reused Fighters for Giraffe.. but he's so healthy.. Vibrent.. hes even blown a bubblenest...

OH no, Gen! I am so very sorry. :( Poor baby! I wonder what went wrong. I feel bad for you that your heaters are so crazy! Is it so cold in your house they need that crazy heater schedule? It sounds stressful for you. I'm sorry about Gen, he was so pretty!

Ugh.. I think I know what happen to Gen.. I had baught 4lbs of crappy gravel from WalMart.. and I think that the paint was chipping and leaving this type of slim in his water.. It killed him.. Was makes me more upset is that today was water change day.. I hope I didn't get to Mango too late.. Along with I Giraffe had the same gravel in his tank, but hes been sooooo perky.. Like he'll even come up to me for attention..I think they'll be okay.. I hope any way..
